ASA Electronics is pleased to announce the arrival of the MS40BT—a Bluetooth®-enabled stereo that can control Bluetooth devices. The MS40BT completes a series of JENSEN® stereos featuring Bluetooth capabilities.

The 160 watt stereo comes complete with standard audio options like an AM/FM tuner to the latest advancements like iPod®/iPhone® compatibility through a rear USB port. In addition, this stereo has an auxiliary input and a line out audio (RCA).

As an added safety feature, the stereo provides seven-channel NOAA weatherband tuner that warns boaters of inclement weather. Furthermore, the MS40BT has a zero current memory draw which allows for successful boat storage without running down the battery. If the battery should ever run low, this stereo is equipped to audibly notify boaters, helping to eliminate the potential to be stranded.

The MS40BT is designed with a white LED backlit dot matrix LCD display and buttons to provide boaters with a user-friendly interface. There are three mounting options available with this stereo, including front or rear flush mount and surface mount. The MS40BT also compatible with all Jensen MWR wired remotes.

As with all JENSEN products, this electronic is built to thrive in aquatic conditions. The MS40BT is UV and corrosion resistant, and is also constructed with conformal-coated circuit boards.

Anytime a Canadian is asked to travel south in the beginning of our spring, which this year was far from inviting, is a dream worth living. The thought of a sailing adventure, tropical breezes, the smell of spices and the warmth of the sun was too much – we HAD to go! The first thing we did was to dig out the copy of Ann Vanderhoof’s book, The Spice Necklace, we had acquired several years ago and to re-read the seven chapters of their adventures in Grenada. Not only should this be your required reading, but the book is loaded with scrumptious Caribbean recipes that are a must-try.

The “Road to Tokyo 2020” is often categorized into a 4-year campaign towards the Olympics. At the beginning of the “quad”, Sarah Douglas and her coach planned the four-year lead up to the Olympics. They looked at their end goal and worked backwards from there: deciding year by year what goals they need to reach to achieve the ultimate goal of a medal at the Olympics.

With the 2020 Olympics fast approaching, Sarah has just passed the halfway point in her campaign. “This past summer, I qualified Canada in the Laser Radial class for Tokyo 2020 and placed 6th at the 2018 World Sailing Championships.

In the case of baking a cake, Betty Crocker and Julia Child both start off with the same eggs, sugar and flour, but the results can be very different. Naval architects, designers and engineers in the boat business also have many of the same ingredients, but the trick is to make the cake unique and desirable.

With a huge history of innovative design in boatbuilding, Jeanneau brings the sort of skill and artistry to their boats that can set them apart. Their new Leader 9.0 model is a case in point.

A recent conversation with a fellow contractor got me thinking: With all of the information out there, including: Websites showing repairs, YouTube tutorials, Instagram pages and snapchat streams – let alone books, magazines, service manuals, and years of practical experience – how does a boat owner know which method(s) are ‘right’, who to trust, and who to hire to do the job? In short: How do you find and select a contractor?

Unfortunately, most people are forced to hire a contractor due to a circumstance where something has broken or failed, or the task...
